ART 492: TOPICAL WORKSHOPS VIDEO STORYTELLING THROUGH EUROPE: CAPUTRING THE BODY ACROSS TIME AND SPACE (3 credit hours)
With video becoming more and more pervasive as a communication tool, learning how to create top notch visual content is crucial.

Working quickly on daily projects, supplemented by an historical overview of video artmaking, as well as field trips to museums and sites, such as the Tate Modern in London, students in this course will develop the skills necessary to use the school-organized and independent trips in the United Kingdom and Europe as the basis for developing their own portfolio of video projects. Suitable both for beginners in video artmaking and artists with extensive experience in time-based media, this course will develop the skills and perspectives necessary to create engaging, expressive video content, no matter the artistic, personal or business context.
